for a telecommunications call accounting system. Chicago State University is soliciting invitations for bids from qualified vendors to provide a comprehensive, enterprise-class call accounting system that is compatible with Nortel Meridian Option 81c/Succession 3.0 switchgear that supports IP Telephony. The system should be designed as a stand-alone unit that will enable Chicago State University to manage all of its internal charge back costs and provisioning services. These charges will include internal network usage-based local calls, inter-lata and intra-lata calls over the public telephone network, incoming DID calls, cellular calls from any location - plus non-usage based charges such as data communications port, Internet, calling card, and equipment costs (including unique and one-time charges).

In addition to replacing our current functionality, the new system should improve our ability to analyze, document, and manage our IT and telecommunication resources.

Bidding documents may be obtained by contacting the Purchasing Office.Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) eligibility number is required on all bid proposals.
